Madden NFL 25 Video - MNF Simulation: Colts vs. Chargers (Xbox One)

[DJ]

Watching this makes me feel even better about not buying a PS4/Xbox One at launch. At this point, I'm good with the games I have on PS3/360 and will likely just buy a 3DS XL and play all of the great games that are available on that handheld.

So yeah, I was not impressed with this video.

Didn't they already have a team working on next gen and they came up with M25?

That is the billion dollar question my friend.. if so many others in the video game industry can do it, why can't EA?

My answer: They can and simply choose not to. The technology is there, the money is there, the time is there.

You think its easy don't you? You don't realize they would basically have to make the same game twice in one year if they started from the bottom. I don't think any company has the budget for that dude. Just because its a next gen release year doesn't mean they get to double up on stafffing. All I saying is this....I'd rather have a graphical upgrade on the same game than a complete abomination of a re-written code. engine etc. You must have never played Madden 06 on 360 huh? Man EA is still rebounding from that!!!! 8 YEARS LATER!!!! LOL

Just like the pre-render for 06. Can't believe anything these guys say. Pretty sad actually.

Of course this is (was) next gen footage LOOK AT THOSE BLADES OF GRASS! (that no one that plays video games anywhere cares about)

Now don't get me wrong i'm personally pretty satisfied with Madden 25 on 360 because i play it sparingly and slideritis takes up most of my time. Only gripe i have with the graphics is that its too bright and makes the game look more like a cartoon than it does lifelike. But this is getting crazy, knowing what power that the new consoles are capable of and this is what were seeing a month before release? They should have stuck to the fake stuff. While EA could be trying to pull off the biggest dupe in history its unlikely. It just might be time for a new team of devs OR maybe someone(s) in the higher offices are shutting down some very groundbreaking ideas coming from them. But as consumers know literally nothing about what goes on behind those doors past what they let them show. The fact that they had the nerve to watermark the original videos as "Actual in game footage" is and should be insulting. There has to be some corner cutting going on somewhere, the majority of the focus has been on things that are almost meaningless to the reason of the games purchase, like new and still slow menus extra attributes in CFM like physical grade and size and intangibles that do nothing whatsoever but add overkill to ratings (i.e. Josh Freeman 77-79 but in CFM he's an 88?) being a Bucs fan that makes me sad to see something so silly. And lord that god awful dynamic player performance that i'm not getting into. At this point most you can do is hope to the gaming gods that with the addition of (some) of the NCAA team for a decent improvement. If not oh well the game will still get bought and they still make their money.

This is exactly why i made a promise to myself to not dump my pockets for a PS4 until April or later when i'm confident that The Show is most likely gonna make people lose their minds. and I just plain didnt plan on spending an extra $100 to have a Kinect forced on me that i'd never use once and wont be able to sell for $100 on top of not having a MLB game to play.

I'd love this, but why would they go to all the trouble for the port from current gen to next gen when they're starting over. Kolbe has been working on next gen for two years, maybe they ran out of time for this year, but I doubt it. I was soooo disappointed when I heard they weren't starting from scratch for next gen.

I understand the risk of repeating the start of this gen again, but if you trust your devs and your vision have some guts and scrap your bad code base go for an amazing modern base and build off of it for years.

They had 2+ years to rebuild with a ghost team headed up by a great dev and it looks like they blew it.
